Cooling Heat Latent heat Length

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on calculating the duration of the phase transition during cooling, specifically the latent heat transition. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to perform this calculation but suggests that it may depend on mass. They later discover that understanding convection allows for the calculation of heat transfer rate (dQ/dt), leading to a solution. The conversation highlights the importance of convection in determining the cooling duration. Ultimately, the poster finds that the rest of the calculation is straightforward once convection is understood.

Hello,

I would like to know how to calculate how long the phase transition when cooling lasts. So basically how long the latent transition lasts.

I really don't have any ideas how this could be calculated, although I would assume it is function of the mass.

Any help is much appreciated.

Nvm found the solution; knowing the convection allows the the dQ/dt to be calculated. The rest is common sense.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
